It's universal on the older VPPs isn't it? I get the pedal feedback on my Nomad and have grown to love it. The first time I rode it up a climb I did think there was something wrong with the granny ring!

I've always had a lot of granny ring pedal feedback from single pivots, but never on a four bar or VP design. Having said that, the only VP designs I've ridden are marin, so may not be that representative.

they will chain tug as the suspension design uses chain tension to stop the bob caused by our legs pumping up and down, youll notice it more on a vpp as you get chain growth in compresison and extension of the suspension from the 'perfect sag point' that is designed into them.
